Abstract:
A theoretical investigation into the behaviour of the Non-Markov Parameter is performed from a signal processing perspective in contrast to previous methodologies based on stochastic processes theory. The results indicate that the NMP can be regarded as an informational metric which is indicative of the degree of low frequency synchronisation in a complex system. These results have deep implications for physiological analysis of biological systems where the presence of sychronisation is often a marker of pathological functioning. The NMP measure is then applied to in vivo micro-electrode recordings from the subthalamic nucleus.

Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
